NOTE: When Catherine's father, Frederick's, sister Lydia died, she was the only one left. Lydia had not married, and her siblings were also deceased. The heirs to her estate were her siblings children and their heirs. Named in Lydia's 1872 estate papers were the heirs of Frederick Baugher who had died and left 8 children, one of whom died since. "Schedule B." was attached showing the heirs of Frederick. One child of Frederick was Catharine Brobst, and her heirs listed were Jacob Brobst, Lydia Martin, George W. Brobst, Lewis Brobst, Napoleon Brobst, and Margaret C. Burk (?).

(note that Lida only aged 4 years between 1870-1880) Is "Lyda" and "Ella" the same person? If so, where did son Isaac go? I can't locate him, yet in 1910 Ella states she had 6 children and all were living.

NOTE: Death certificate shows he was buried in Lithopolis Cem. The cemetery inscription book and it's cemetery records published by the Fairfield Co. Gen Society does not list a Frank or Francis Bates being buried there. May have had no tombstone.

1910 - the trial of Alva Peek charged with assault with a deadly weapon, was called for trial Tuesday afternoon and is now in progress. The indictment against Peek grew out of an alleged assault on John Navis, a neighbor, one Feb. 8, 1910, on the highway west of town. Peek and Navis had been opposing parties in a civil suit that was tried before a justice of the peace in Shelbyville that day, and Peek lost out. He and severl friends started for their homes in a remote part of Rose Twp., and a little later Navis, accompanied by Clint Foor, also started for home. As they crossed Robinson creek bridge, a few miles southwest of the city, Navis claims that peek and his companions intercepted him, and while James C. Salmons held his horse, Peek procured a buggy whip and assaulted him. (more to article) [Daily Review, Decatur, IL, Jan. 25, 1911]

J. Ranee SCITTICATT

BEF 1953 - ____

[17062]
NAME: In the obituary of John Jay Foore b 23 Oct 1918, it lists three surviving children. The first two appear to be from John Jay's first wife. J. Ranee appears to be a step-child, and a child of his second wife's husband.

NOTE: It appears in subsequent censuses (after married) that Hannah and Margaret are one in the same person. What I don't understand is why she consistantly shows she was born in Missouri rather than Ohio. One would assume that perhaps Alexander Rainey married another Margaret or Hannah, but birth records found for 2nd and 3rd child show mother's maiden name as Shaffer.

NOTE: Conover's book mentions Elmira and Netta as William and Ortle (Woy) Foor's children (no dates). Here in the 1900 census, it lists the two as being nieces of Ortle. One theory at this time is that the relationship of those two isn't in relation to Ortle, but rather to her brother Sherman Hoy.
